IIoT has come to be an extensive trend in the business and commerce development as it helps organizations to attain extreme achievements with reduced expenses. However and regrettably the promising IIoT technology lacks of many security measures that make it vulnerable to many sorts of cyberattacks, for example and not limited to, node capture, side-channel analysis, eavesdropping, man-in-the-middle and distributed denial of service attacks. Moreover, the IIoT networks need challenging requirements to achieve the desired security and reliability. Unfortunately, traditional security solutions and even regular IoT solution cannot address the Industrial IoT security flaws due to the different nature of the IIoT. An integral part of IIoT is the Operational Technologies (OT), such as SCADA, needs to have a deep security examination. Present SCADA technology are distributed and networked over open internet protocols, which make it susceptible to cyber-attacks, an enhancement of the Modbus, Profibus, Fieldbus, and Hart protocols with digital authentication should promise, confidentiality, integrity, availability, and dynamic group management for OT. IIoT context has precise necessities when it comes to security and reliability, such as; i) Bounded and fast response is required to attain the business continuity. ii) Reliability, unlike the regular IoT that operates in domestic areas, Industrial IoT systems operate in hazardous areas with safety implications that may threaten lives. iii) Scalability is needed to, dynamically and remotely, add and revoke sensor nodes efficiently. iv) Power consumption is very important factor to be carefully considered especially with ambient power and battery-driven devices. v) Security is a serious issue for all sensory applications; however, industrial usages need more robust and reliable procedures due to their safety implications. All these constrains must be considered during the security protocols design process. As encryption is the cornerstone of information security, authenticated encryption has been getting a lot of attention in the IIoT context to attain integrity and confidentiality. Fast and lightweight encryption plays a great role in achieving the adapted security and privacy for IIoT; however, lightweight encryption still needs to study new techniques, which must be formally verified over the modern cryptography. On the other hand, key management in terms of authenticated key agreement with key confirmation (AKC) protocols need to be obtainable in a new customization for the IIoT context to consider fast rekeying and nodes addition and revocation. This Special Section aims to attract pioneer and novel work of Security, Privacy, and Trust for the Industrial Internet of Things including novel and innovative security mechanisms that are resilient to the current Industrial IoT cyberattacks. Topics include, but are not limited to: Ø Lightweight encryption protocols for IIoT Ø Key management protocols for IIoT Ø Mutual authentication protocols for IIoT Ø Privacy and security protocols for IIoT Ø Cyberattacks detection and prevention for IIoT Ø Threat models and attack scenarios for IIoT Ø Security solutions complexity for IIoT Ø Authorization, authentication, and access control in IIoT Ø Secure M2M communications in IIoT Ø Operational technologies (OT) security and privacy in the IIoT context Ø Secure smart grids in the IIoT context Ø Applied cryptographic solution for the IIoT context Ø Crypto analysis and enhancement for current IIoT security solutions Ø Malware and intrusion detection for IIoT Ø Hardware and embedded security for IIoT Ø SCADA-security Manuscript Preparation and Submission Follow the guidelines in "Information for Authors" in the IEEE Transaction on Industrial Informatics http://tii.ieee-ies.org/ Please submit your manuscript in electronic form through Manuscript Central web site: http://mc.manuscriptcentral.com/tii.

By detecting the multi-device context for harnessing collaborative and opportunistic resources in proximity, it is possible to reduce the cost of executing computational tasks in the constrained resources of smart devices, and to diffuse the presence of smart devices beyond their existing computing isolated behavior. The impact of multi-device computing has found many applications in everyday settings, for which they were not initially conceived, such as continuous multi-device experience for users, formation of proximal infrastructure at the edge network, multi-device remote control systems, multi-device sensing and multi-device autonomous interactions, among others. The goal of PerCrowd 2019 is to explore the impact of multi-device context in self-organizing and opportunistic computing. More in detail, The goal of this workshop is to explore the use and effect of contexts on multi-device settings, whose computational behavior can be propagated within communities of devices for improving their energy consumption and performance. Original papers addressing theoretical, practical, and technical aspects of opportunistic and self-organizing multi-device communities are solicited. Papers describing prototype implementations and deployment of such applications and systems are particularly welcome. The submission of informative surveys of the state of the art as well as position papers on controversial issues is also encouraged. Topics of interest include but are not limited to: - Context-aware multi-device systems and applications, e.g., multi-device sensing, sampling and computation - Resource extension of pervasive and mobile applications, e.g., screen sharing, multi-device interfaces and multi-device control systems - Opportunistic multi-device context modeling via crowdsensing - Algorithms to reduce task complexity via optimal distribution in multi-device setups - Pervasive computing applications harnessing opportunistic multi-device formation, e.g., location, proximity, underutilized times, etc. - Self-organizing community construction and evolution - Usage models for multi-device computing, e.g., incentive models, stability models, decision making models, and privacy models. - Users experiences towards multi-device systems and applications - Infrastructure, architectures, and platforms for multi-device systems, as well as, emerging applications for multi-device environments. - Integration of multi-device systems on the move with proximal infrastructure, e.g., Edge, Cloudlet and Fog - Lessons and experiences of evaluating context-awareness for multi-device systems and applications PAPER FORMAT AND SUBMISSION INSTRUCTIONS ________________________________________ Papers should contain original material and not be previously published or currently under consideration elsewhere.

GI/ITG KuVS Fachgespräch Sensornetze FGSN 2018 ====================================================================== https://www.ibr.cs.tu-bs.de/cm/events/fgsn2018/index.html Die Nutzung von Rechnern, Smartphones und entsprechender Kommunikationstechnik ist für die meisten Menschen unserer heutigen Gesellschaft Teil des Alltags geworden. Aber auch mehr und mehr Gegenstände können kommunizieren, Informationen bereitstellen oder gesteuert werden. In Sensornetzen, Internet-of-Things, Cyber-Physical-Networks, ... kommunizieren nun Geräte verschiedenster Art und für verschiedenste Zwecke miteinander. In manchen Szenarien werden von Sensoren Daten gesammelt und an zentrale Stellen zur Weiterverarbeitung, Speicherung sowie Entscheidungsfindung übertragen. Bei Einsatz von Aktorik können dann auch Regelschleifen geschlossen werden. Je nach Einsatzzweck werden verschiedenste Techniken für die Sensorik, für die Kommunikation, für die Verarbeitung, für die Speicherung etc. Auch wenn schon seit etliche Jahren umfangreiche Forschungen in diesem Umfeld erfolgten, gibt es nach wie vor vielfältige offene Fragestellungen und Herausforderungen. Zudem bestehen sehr breite und unterschiedliche Anwendungsbereiche, die oftmals spezielle Anforderungen an alle einzelnen Komponenten stellen. So sind die Anforderungen zwischen Szenarien bspw. für Smart Farming, für Industrieanlagen oder für Smart Cities sehr unterschiedlich. Das Ziel dieser Reihe von Fachgesprächen ist der informelle Gedankenaustausch für Wissenschaftler aus Forschung und Industrie sowie die Stärkung von Kooperationen in diesem multidisziplinären Forschungsbereich. Im Rahmen des bereits 17. Fachgesprächs soll daher die Diskussion gegenüber der Vortragspräsentation im Vordergrund stehen. Der aktuelle Zeitplan: 13.09.2018 12:30 - 13:00 Registration & Coffee 13:00 - 15:00 Welcome & Session 1 15:00 - 16:30 Demo Session & Coffee Break 16:30 - 18:15 Session 2 19:30 Evening Banquet & Table Soccer Tournament 14.09.2018 08:50 - 09:00 Hungover Coffee 09:00 - 10:45 Session 3 10:45 - 11:15 Coffee Break 11:15 - 13:15 Session 4 & Closing Termine ------- - Fachgespräch: 13. - 14.
